I was awed by the the conventional foods dished out by Dibs, using unconventional cooking methods in record time ! Grilled Akki Rotti with Sprouts is a nutritious, crisp and chewy version of the traditional Akki Rotti that she makes often. My five year old grand daughter loves to take a wedge of this tea time snack to her kindy. It is most enjoyable with a hot cup of 'tea time' coffee ! This is how she prepares it.

INGREDIENTS

Rice flour - 2 cups( Just enough to bind all the ingredients)

Sprouted Moong dal - 2 cups

Salt - 3/4 tsp

Finely chopped green chillies - 1 tbsp

Finely chopped fresh ginger - 1 tbsp

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Finely chopped Kale - 1 cupKasoori Methi - 1 tbsp

Ghee - 2 tbsps

TO MAKE THE DOUGH

1.First mix all the ingredients together except the rice flour.

2.Mix in the rice flour and bind the ingredients together into a soft spreadable dough adding water little by little.

Hello

Welcome to Chitra Amma's Kitchen.

I am Dibs. I am a born Foodie. I love to cook; love to eat; love to feed folks who appreciate good food. Blogging provides me a great way of documenting my mother, Chitra’s recipes, as a ready reference irrespective which time zone I live in. Amma honestly makes the best food I've ever had, and somehow, the anecdotes she tells us, make the dishes taste all the better.Most posts here are written by my mother Chitra. It’s her recipes, along with related reminiscences of people, places and anecdotes. She writes, I post!What started for a lark, has now become a serious hobby, drawing in participation from the whole family. My father, S.R. Ramachandran has started clicking away every dish made at home! Aunts, cousins, siblings, contribute to photos, and ask for recipes.We try to illustrate implements such as utensils, grinding stones and so on from the ‘pre-electric-mixer’ days wherever possible. We hope this will make an interesting read for future generations, on how food was cooked in earlier times!The site is still in its infancy, and slowly evolving, as our skills improve! We invite your comments, ideas, and questions, and will attempt answering them.

Thank you for your visit, and we hope you enjoy your stay at Chitra Amma’s Kitchen.
